Simply go to official webpages or chapter webpages and they usually list famous alum...also Greek101 has a list of famous alum, however I have had to correct them on who's in which GLO...so I wouldn't count on them...

I didn't mean that to sound rude...I have spent time doing similar research so I know who's in which GLO. In fact they still have Lee Merriworth, or Merriweather as a Sigma Kappa and I believe she's a Chi Omega (I don't even know who she is)...nevertheless, you get my point...

Lee Meriwether is one of 3 women who played "Catwoman" on the Batman TV series. The other 2 are Eartha Kitt and Julie Newmar. She is also a former Miss America.

From our national page...(pics are there if you are interested go to www.tridelta.org then click on distinguished alums (kind of outdated as it only dates through 1988!!!):

It is impossible to include all the women of merit, for Tri Deltas are outstanding everywhere in every way. The History of Delta Delta Delta 1888-1988 features many more members, as well as the historical issue (fall 1988) of The Trident.
